I'd say it started at a 6 or 7, and grew to a strong 8 over its runtime. Most of the characters have always been beautifully nuanced, but the stakes of its plots have always been unnecessarily inflated, and the endings for each story arc are of very mixed quality. After the jump to the 31st century, the storylines became much more Star Trek-ian, and the show started to display more of its own identity separate from classic Trek and action movie tropes, and that pushed it into properly great territory.

this is my "gaming" Plasma activity, so in theory everything I play regularly is there :)

i'm personally fine with the windows being slightly brighter, but i think an almost-black theme would look good too... might experiment with that, thanks for the suggestion!

Are all of the remaining LXDE programs going to be using XWayland? Or have they been ported by now?

Most regular distros are good enough for gaming. The only issue you're likely to run into is with graphics drivers (I recommend going for AMD graphics on that build), and the availability of certain software in certain formats (gaming software is more likely to be available for Debian or Ubuntu based distros).

If you like the Steam Deck's desktop mode, you might enjoy another distro with the same desktop environment (KDE Plasma). I'm partial to KDE Neon, a snappy Ubuntu LTS spin with all of the latest KDE software.

Me too, but I also think it just looks cool. Sci-fi vibes.

oh it is still being updated! great.

I'm aware of FreeTube and PlasmaTube, which IIRC both require an Invidious instance. There was something called SMTube in the past, not sure if it still exists.

Nothing I'm aware of has both desktop and mobile version, but if anything there are more options for mobile YouTube clients; try NewPipe or Clipious.

Edit: SMTube does still exist. It does not require Invidious, but it does use tonvid.com.

Details:

  • OS is Debian bookworm, DE is Plasma 5.27.
  • Plasma theme is Oxygen.
  • Icon theme is a slightly modified version of Oxylite, only changes are that it follows my system color scheme, the "inherits" list is different, and the start-here and preferences-system icons have been changed.
  • Wallpaper is Haenau.
  • I'm using Oxygen for Qt widgets and decorations, with the Obsidian Coast color scheme, and standard Breeze Dark for GTK2.
  • Layout is entirely my own. I'm showing my Games activity because the main one contains a folder view that might expose info I don't want to expose here.

Hopefully this is original enough? I'm not sure. I've gotten away with posting desktops with mostly existing themes before, but on other occasions I've had posts removed for it. At least I mixed and matched some icons this time.

Even worse: the .deb file's dependences are only available in a specific version of Ubuntu LTS or with PPAs.

Revolt is the most Discord-like FOSS chat app; it's very easy to use and customizable. Rocket.chat and Mattermost do similar things and are more oriented toward organizations (the Slack/Teams Classic use case).
